[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2748666, member: 63925"] Yes to your last question. The rifle is 60 years old and I bet layers of copper and fouling. A rifle like this I would start soaking the barrel in Hoppes 9 right up into chamber FOR AT LEAST A FULL WEEK! It took 60 years to foul it so gonna take a long soak to clean it. I will bet it will take a few of these soaks to make any progress. I had to do this to a friends 788 he got from his dad, not sure if it ever saw a cleaning patch. Shot great 12 ga shot groups until prob a month of soaks and cleaning. I would go buy several bulk packs of brushes and patches slong with bulk bottle of Hoppes for the soaks. IMO better to do this in gradual manner versus military CMD assault on bore. [/QUOTE]
